Story Start

Prologue: Humanity

You know there are certain events in Human history that makes people ask where you were when it occurred.

Something like.

Where were you when Senju Hirashima and Uchiha Madara battled in the Valley of the End?

Where were you when the Uzushiogakure got wiped out from the map of the Elemental Nations?

Where were you when the Namikaze Minato single-handedly massacred an army of Iwa-nin?

Where were you when Konoha was attacked by Oto and Suna?

Where were you when Akatsuki started hunting down the Jinchuuriki?

Where were you when the Fourth Ninja war started?

Before if someone asked me where I was when the world ended I would've just scoffed at them and told them they were crazy.

Now though if someone asks the same question again I'd say.

"I was fighting in the front lines making sure the world never ended"

And fight I did, even ended up as a hero after managing to kill the three Uchihas that were the cause of the entire war but what

comes after it?

What is the fate of the demon that brought peace to the world?

I was rewarded with one simple thing.

The view of the morning sun.

The view of the dawn.

It was absolutely Ironic.

I spent the last part of my life trying to get away from the dawn but in the end it still caught up.

The sight was so beautiful.

I smiled as I was bought down to my knees; I was starving, beaten, tortured, my chakra sealed, and all my friends and allies

long gone, killed during the war.

The ones surrounding and sentencing me were cowards who refused to join the battle.

The vultures that came swarming in during the aftermath of war.

I frowned this was the reality of humanity.

In the war I saw all the ideals clashing, the epitome of humanity's will to fight on, a pool of the positive emotions that every ninja fought for.

And in the aftermath I saw all the ugliness all the wretched emotions that lay hidden within.

Was that what human really were, beings of ugliness hidden within a mask of normality?

My head was pushed to the ground I wasn't really listening to what they were saying my eyes was purely concentrated on the pool of blood that I could've sworn was approaching me.

I internally smirked, the battlefield was still fresh with the blood of the fallen, it hasn't even been a week and they decided to get rid of me already.

Kinda ironic that I spent the last week of my life sleeping in a bed trying to recover or at least I thought so. When I woke up I was in a dusty prison room, bound and still injured.

My ears picked up a few of the words my executors were saying and apparently I was the only thing standing in the way of true peace.

My existence would cause wars or something.

I call bullshit, but it's not like anyone would listen because apparently a week was long enough to get rid of anyone who still supported me.

I openly smirked as I looked at the beautiful twilight that came with the dawn.

"So the great Uzumaki Naruto dies like this huh?" I said to myself as I saw it more clearly.

The pool of blood was really moving towards me.

It was the blood of a battlefield.

It was calling out to me, asking me to take it in, asking me to be one with it, no not asking, more of begging.

I let out a sad smile.

Is this their will?

The will of all those who died for the sake of peace.

The will of my allies, were they giving me this one opportunity.

It was a chance to live and I am willing to take it.

My executioner stopped talking as he signalled a few other men to ready their weapons.

I tried my best to move.

The men drew their swords, hammers, axes, knives.

I leaned my head forward towards the moist earth as I brought out my tongue and licked the blood off the ground.

They held their weapons up to the sky.

I raised my head as I saw the dawn one more time.

They brought their weapons down on me.

I grinned madly as I welcomed death with open arms.

I spent a more than millennia wondering on my own.

The era of the ninja long gone from this world.

I made sure of that.

I kept wondering from place to place, no real goal insight.

Until I met her, a being so like me.

A being that also drank the blood of a battlefield.

She offered me a place to live.

I kindly accepted.

The two of us lived within the confines of her castle.

Not truly happy yet not truly sad.

We spent a few centuries together until she started to seek out the world beyond the castle walls.

She started by imprisoning this Englishmen as she learned more about the outside world from him.

After a few months she let the man escape as she offered me to come with her to the new part of the world.

I smiled she really was pushy so I gave in and joined her.

I watched as she went after the man's fiancé and her friend.

I watched as she plagued this place called England.

I watched as a group of brave men attempted to hunt her down.

I stopped watching and forcibly dragged her back to her castle much to her frustration.

Half way to her stronghold we decided to split up as I headed for the castle while she travelled with the Gypsies.

I battled with a man in her castle and to my surprise I lost.

I closed my eyes ready for death once more but I was spared.

"Why?" I asked the man.

"Because for a monster you are more human than others" was the man's response as he left me alone in the castle.

I eventually recovered and chased after the man only to find the man and his group standing over my defeated companion.

She had a knife through her heart and she was dying.

Yet again it was dawn.

-Ningen-

I was sitting inside an aircraft carrier right next to a young lad and a coffin.

The kid had a hint of craziness and thick bloodlust surrounding him.

He was smoking a cigarette that he took from that American in the plane.

He offered me one which I kindly declined.

I felt a sudden breeze as the door of the air craft carrier opened.

I watched the kid smile as he jumped with the coffin me following shortly after.

It was war.

And I really felt like killing something.

-Ningen-

I was in a dark room.

I've been awake for years, sitting in front of a coffin refusing to move.

She's been asleep for years now.

My body was already weak and faint.

I haven't eaten in years.

The two of us were sealed underneath a mansion shortly after the war.

Because humans didn't need monsters when the times were at peace.

Sounded familiar right?

I could have left but since she was bound to this family I decide to stay.

I at least owe her that much, after all she made the last few centuries bearable.

So I sat there in front of the coffin not really expecting anything to happen.

But then again nothing really goes as I expect it to be.

That's how my whole life has been.

Light seeped into the dark room as the door that sealed us in was opened.

There I saw her, a girl wearing glasses. She has long light golden blonde hair and blue eyes.

But her face was showing emotions I was oh so familiar with, fear and panic.

I kept silent as she approached me and the coffin.

"Is this my protection? It's nothing but a coffin and a dead man"

"I've found you Fraulein" I heard another voice say as the girl turned around.

*Bang*

I heard the sound of gunfire as the girl fell on her back with a loud scream.

Then I felt it.

Something warm and wet that brushed against my skin.

Something so familiar.

Something that I long forgot.

I smiled as I started licking it

I felt alive once more.

I stood up invigorated ignoring the mens panic.

I looked at the scene in front of me three men and a wounded girl.

I looked at the ground and saw a pool of blood.

I crouched staining my hand in a pool until it was crimson.

I stood up and started to wipe the blood all over the coffin behind me.

I smiled as the earth suddenly began shaking making the humans in the room shiver in fear.

And then I heard it, the sound of the coffin opening along with the voice I haven't heard in years.

"Tadaima Hakushaku (I'm back Count)"

"Okaerinasai Hakushaku Fujin (Welcome back Countess)"

At the exact same time in the other side of the world a short chubby man with blonde hair sat on what looked like a throne.

He was smiling as the the flag of the Third Reich stood proud above him, fluttering even without wind.

The man was surrounded by various silhouettes.

All of them were smiling.

The chubby man stood from his throne as he extended his arms to his sides "And so it begins"

-Ningen END-
